DEUTSCHE WELLE
On 23.10.2024, in Bonn, state TV and radio company “UTR World Service” and German international broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) signed Memorandum on cooperation. Director-Generals Mykhailo Shmatov and Peter Limbourg subscribed their names to the document. The companies are now planning to create new TV and internet projects together.
Deutsche Welle was founded more than 60 years ago, as a radio station. Nowadays, it is a big multimedia international broadcasting company. According to the Deutsche Welle Act, the company represents Germany “as a cultural state in the European tradition and as a free and democratic constitutional state” in more than 30 languages of the world: from German and English to exotic Urdu and Amharic. Broadcasting in Ukrainian language started in 2024.
Immense experience of this German media, and, presently, a partner, will undoubtedly be useful to UTR in particular and to Ukrainian state as a whole. From the moment of its foundation, our overseas broadcasting was directed towards Ukrainian diaspora. Now, when an open information war is waged on Ukraine in order to create a negative image of our country – the issue of Ukrainian international broadcasting, its existence, content and development became most pressing.
German experience shows that overseas broadcast should be up to date, intellectual and analytic. That is why the only Ukrainian state international broadcaster could use the best practices and support of the foreign colleagues. And not only in terms of the strategic policy of Ukrainian international broadcaster, which is mainly similar to the objectives of DW, but also in terms of specific steps in UTR’s establishment as a proper overseas broadcaster. In particular, the partner companies will soon develop a training schedule of Ukrainian journalists – first on the base of UTR, and then DW.
